"Please Ev? Please?" Xavier begged. I rolled my eyes.

"Will you two please shut up if I say yes?" I groaned. Xavier and Hugo exchanged glances.

"Yes. Yes we will." Hugo announced. I sighed.

"Fine." I mumbled. The two boys in front of me started jumping up and down with joy. I rolled my eyes again. They had managed to persuade me to audition for a film that Hugo had researched. It was with one of my favourite bands but they wouldn't say who. I'll kill them for that later. All I knew was it was about a girl named Elodie who meets her idols at a concert. Things happen and she falls in love with one of the band members. The auditions were tomorrow. Hugo and Xavier were also going for a part but they wanted me to go for the lead. They wanted me to go for Elodie. I hate them sometimes.

"You won't regret it!" Xavier cheered, engulfing me in a hug.

----------

"Welcome everyone. My name is Kelly and I'll be the film director and your casting director." the woman started. I looked around. Whore. Slut. B****. Whore. Slut B****. You get the idea. Xavier, Hugo and I were the only ones who weren't fake. "There will be two sets of auditions today. The people auditioning for the couple Kade and Phoenix will be done at the same time as they are boyfriends-" I saw Hugo and Xavier exchange glances with a smile. "and Elodie will be cast separately. Will the boys go in there and the girls stay here." Kelly ordered. I bid my goodbye's to the boys and they disappeared off into a separate room. "Right! Let's get started! It's time you meet the band you'll be working with. They are: Black Veil Brides!" Kelly announced. Are. You. Kidding. Me. The girls around me started squealing. Bet they don't know who they are. One by one, the band members walked in. I started shaking. Andy, then Ash, then Jinxx, then Jake and finally, CC. "Everyone line up to meet each person individually." I got in there but I was shoved out again so I went last. Damn these whores. I waited until it was me. There was only around 10 of us in total so it was fine.

"Hey there beautiful! What's your name?" Andy asked when I reached him. He held out his hand and I shook it. Damn it was cold!

"I'm Evelyn. I love your music by the way. You're an amazing singer." I smiled shyly. Andy smiled back.

"Thank you!" he smiled. I moved on to Ashley.

"Hey sexy!" he winked. I rolled my eyes and shook his hand. "What's your name?"

"Evelyn. You're an amazing bassist by the way. Yeah. I listen to the bass parts as well." I smirked. I moved on.

"Hey darling. I'm Jake." Jake introduced.

"Evelyn." I smiled, shaking his hand also. "I love your guitar skills! They're legendary!" I moved to Jinxx.

"Evelyn. Correct?" he asked. I nodded. "Lovely name."

"Thanks. You're amazingly talented." I blurted. Jinxx laughed.

"I like you!" Finally, I reached CC.

"Hey!" he laughed.

"Hi. You're an amazing drummer! I love you. You're gorgeous... Wait what?" I babbled. CC laughed.

"You have a beautiful name Evelyn. Beautiful name linked to a beautiful lady." he smirked. I blushed and looked down. I heard 'awes' coming from the others and a deep chuckle from CC. "Seriously though. You're very pretty." CC complemented. I smiled but kept my head down.

"Right then! Here is a small scene from the film that you will need to preform. All of it. Including any dialogue or stage directions." Kelly announced. I took my sheet and read it through quickly. "Five minutes to learn it by heart. Off you go." I shuffled off to a random corner and started to read it through. I got it easily. Five minutes later: "Time everyone! I will come 'round to each of you with Christian and do the scene." Kelly called out. I had mine easy peasy. Two minuted later, they arrived to me. CC got up close and personal, like it said. "On you go!"

==========

"You're so beautiful." CC whispered. I looked down.

"I'm not. I'm really not." I sighed.

"Yes you are. Don't believe what those people say to you. You're amazing." he said. I didn't look up. "Hey. Look at me please." I didn't. "Look at me." I still didn't. CC sighed. He placed a finger under my chin and made me look at him. "You're beautiful. What makes you think you aren't?" he asked.

"The people say I'm worthless and pathetic. I'm a faggot and they hate me. They say I'm ugly." I replied. CC sighed again.

"Elodie, don't believe what they say to you. It's not true. I promise. I really like you. I really, really like you." CC breathed.

"I really, really like you to." I answered. There was a silence. Then, we started to lean in. Our lips pressed together in a gentle kiss that shot fireworks through me. We pulled back and we rested our foreheads together, smiling softly.

==========

"Well done you two. That was amazing. Come on Christian. Next person." Kelly giggled. We pulled back and I rested on my flat feet. OK. I admit it. I'm a midget. Everyone was huge to me. Did I pass that test? Did I do enough? I hope so! 10 minutes later, a new sheet was being passed around. "Learn this. This is where you meet all of the band." I learned mine easy again and soon, they reached me. They got ready. "Off you go!"

==========

"Excuse me... Can I have an autograph?" I ask Andy shyly. Andy turns to face me.

"Certainly!" he smiled. I held out the new Heart of Fire CD that had just come out. "You have it then?" he asked.

"Yeah." I replied. The other band members join us. "Guys, sign the lovely ladies CD for her please." Andy ordered. They all did. Meanwhile though, CC kept looking at me with a tilted head. He was smiling at me. "CC buddy. You now." Andy passed him the CD. He signed it.

"What's your name?" CC asked?

"Elodie Rose Carmosino." I replied. 

"That's a lovely name." CC complimented, handing me my CD.

"Thanks." I looked at it. There was a number under CC's name. I smiled.

"Call me." CC whispered, leaving with the others. Oh yes

==========

"Well done you six! That was great work! Moving on!" Kelly rushed. They moved off. I smiled broadly. I was already making a special bond with CC. And not just through the film.
